Dresses are having their moment for the crisp Autumn season this year and, as we transition our wardrobes in anticipation, we're particularly excited about all the trends the runway has to offer. From whimsical tie-dye to classic plaids; gothic-inspired deep blacks and brightly colored knit dresses alike.

Fall 2019 Dress Trend: Goth-Inspired
The little black dress has gotten an update for Fall, by way of a goth-inspired vibe. From the runways of Prada, Simone Rocha, and more, these dresses give off a boudoir-inspired vibe by way of satins, laces, bustier tops, and more — all with the addition of a little bit of embellished darkness, like beading, asymmetrical structures, cut hemlines, and beyond.

Fall 2019 Dress Trend: Knits
Every Fall, we stock up on knitwear galore and this season, it's entering our dress selection. Whether you're opting for a classic boxy oversize sweater dress (think: the t-shirt dress of the colder months) or a more tailored midi silhouette made of cotton, cashmere, or wool blends, it's time to cozy up with your chic throw-on-and-go dresses this Autumn.

Fall 2019 Dress Trend: Britain in the ‘70s
French brand it may be, but think of Old Céline at its prime. Not only has the fashion house brought back all the to-die-for plaid wools and tweeds for the coming season, but brands like Chanel (of course!), Lanvin, Victoria Beckham, and more are following suit. It's definitely autumnal dressing at its finest!

Fall 2019 Dress Trend: Victorian-Inspired
If there ever was a fully year-round dress trend, it's this one. With high necks, lace inlays, bright white weaves, and long sleeves, the Victorian-inspired dress takes all the best parts of our wardrobe from all four seasons and melds it into one. While we're opting for a little more coverage, come Fall, this trend has already been brewing for the past few months of Summer and shows no signs of stopping.

Fall 2019 Dress Trend: Asymmetric Neckline
We've experienced the cold shoulder, the off-the-shoulder, the one-shoulder, and more…but have you met the skin-baring dress trend's cooler younger sister? It's the asymmetric neckline and it's blazing a strong path for this coming Fall. With a neckline that doesn't feel overly stuffy, but also retains it's after-hours elegance, this dress trend for the coming season was born on the runways of Carolina Herrera, Self-Portrait, Cushnie et Ochs, and more.

Fall 2019 Dress Trend: Button-Front Over Jeans
While this is more of a styling trick, the trend is growing more than ever and a perfect way to layer for Fall. While we're well-versed in layering of tees, knits, bodysuits, and more, it's rare to find one that so effortlessly walks the line between casual and elegant. A pair of skinny jeans peeking out from underneath your most sweeping dress is just the look you'll need this Autumn.
